Quiche.
Q is a hard letter to find things to add, whether you like them, or don’t.
I don’t hate quiche. I have eaten it, and would politely still eat it, if it was served to me by someone.
But as a snack, it would never be my first choice. Years of weddings and funerals, where small pieces of quiche or the now familar ‘mini-quiche’ are always on offer. Sometimes the pastry is undercooked, and they are also usually served cold too. Shop-bought versions are often lacking in flavour, and just plain boring.
These days, you can buy ‘dressed up’ quiches, even ‘Vegan quiche’.
Like this one.
But on any list of tasty edibles, quiche would be at the bottom for me.
I attempt to make and bake quiche but never quite get it right… but I am known to LIKE quiche, Pete. It’s perfectly OK you don’t.

Thanks, Lara. I might like one that wasn’t cold and soggy, but I have yet to experience that. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.

You cant buy it ready made in discount shops.Maybe this make it shown as not so popular here. All the public advertising here is only for discount shops.

We had an exquisite one last night as part of the food bundle we had delivered. I have not encountered them in miniature form, nor cold, nor soggy. Perhaps that is why I like them.

I’m not a fan, either. I don’t think I’ve ever had a positive quiche experience. Thick, tasteless pastry and various slimy bits and pieces buried in cheese. Ugh!

I used to make them regularly back in the day, then taught my daughter who made a good quiche. I haven’t made one for ages, but don’t know why not as they are lovely with a salad in summer. You have to have good pastry.

The pastry is so often damp and soggy. That’s mainly what puts me off, Jude.

Quiche is a very mixed bag. I agree that the chilled supermarket varieties are often soggy and uninspiring, but a home made quiche with good pastry, fresh veg and tasty cheese, is excellent.
